Selections from the classical repertoire with commentary about the pieces, their composers, and their historical context.
Podcast
I broadcast a live two hour classical music program on KDRT, and kdrt.org. I have listened to classical music all my life, and classical music radio since the 1970's. I have a wife, Erin, two daughters (Colleen and Andrea), a dog (Daisy), and a cat (Princess). I retired from the practice of dentistry more than two years ago, and now focus primarily on my family, my radio show, and playing the piano. Please submit requests, and I will accommodate if I have the requested piece in my library of recorded music. I will also give you a personal shout out, if you wish and include your name on my broadcast.

With lots of cello music! It's a wonderful thing to say, "I'd love to hear more cello" and than have you make it so the very next week. Thanks!

Hey Paul,
This Eric Sate (not sure of spelling)..."haunting"...I'm practically crying! Well, music should be emotive, I guess. Craig

Craig,
Haunting is a good word to describe Satie's music.If you listened to my commentary, you'll remember that he was involved in mysticism and esoteric religious practices. And he was a recluse for the latter decades of his life. His music is haunting because he was probably haunted by devils of his own making.

Hi Paul,
Glad for Friday morning replay. The Hawaiian singer was awesome...nice spin on "classical" genre. I think you're show is great...though we tend toward chamber/concerto sounds...the symphonic and other sounds are great and good to learn about...thanks for sharing this gift. Craig
Thanks

Thanks for the kind comment, Craig. Though my taste also tends more to the chamber/concerto side of things, I can't neglect one of the most widely recognized (and loved) aspects of classical music: the symphony. I appreciate the kind word about the Hawaiian song as well. As you can see, I interpret the word classical losely. The interpretation will become even looser, I'm sure, as time goes on.

Thanks for the lovely Haydn guitar music today...I've long been fond of the London Symphonies and hearing another piece has reminded me how long it's been since I pulled out some Haydn. Thanks, Craig
